Suicide according to CBS.

Confirmed, huh? He was severely depressed according to his publicist.


He'd battled depression for decades, this was no new he:: for him.

He'd also been diagnosed as bipolar.

Many people diagnosed with bipolar fight suicidal feelings. One of my friends knew him, too, and adored him. She's devastated.

Yes, and so frequently they turn to substance abuse to dull the pain, even if only for a short time.

Drugs and alcohol abuse are no surprise, it's self medication.

I want everyone to know this about him.

Robin Williams was a local boy, local family.

He was a man about town, we'd see him everywhere, and he always had a smile and a joke for anyone who said hello.

He was out riding his bike several times when I was doing the same. We'd smile and nod. We lived not far from each other.

He used to have a wonderful house in the Sea Cliff area of town, adjacent to the SF Richmond district. He was known for throwing fabulous Halloween parties for kids, any kids who showed up at his doorstep. Fully decorated, out onto the lawn, and lots of goodies. We took our daughter there for trick or treat.

He was always available to raise funds for charity. He was a kind and generous man.

I'm heartbroken {#emotions_dlg.crying}

Thank you for sharing that.

Thanks Noel. He was such a versatile actor. Smart and weirdly witty. He made me laugh and laugh. He was truly one of a kind. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it.

I don't want to believe it, either.

Very sad news. I wish he could have known in his heart how much he was loved and how much he will be missed. May he rest in peace.

I was wondering why they didn't say a word about it. Thanks, that makes sense.

Yes. They tape early because it's a syndicated show and runs at all different times throughout the country.
